Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, FDG-PET / CT and Cu-ATSM-PET / CT were performed in 6 cases before treatment for advanced head and neck cancer. In addition, Cu-ATSM-PET / CT and FDG-PET / CT were performed in 3 cases before and after preoperative treatment. In the middle of the study period, Cu-ATSM supply from other facilities ended, and drug toxicity test in mice was conducted to use Cu-ATSM manufactured at our facility. After that, PET / MRI examination was performed, and FDG-PET / CT and FDG-PET / MRI radiographs were performed on 53 patients with head and neck cancer. Finally, a 69-year-old woman with right oropharyngeal cancer underwent FDG-PET / MRI, Cu-ATSM-PET / MRI, FLT-PET / MRI before preoperative chemoradiotherapy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在、がん検診などで広く用いられているPET検査であるが、FDG以外の薬剤を用いることにより、悪性腫瘍の別の側面を評価することができる。また、PET/CTよりも精度の高いPET/MRIを用いることで、さらに腫瘍の境界も評価でき、義歯などのアーチファクトが多い口腔癌や中咽頭癌ではTNM分類の評価にも有用である。FDG-PET/MRI、Cu-ATSM-PET/MRI、FLT-PET/MRIを比較し、さらにその患者の予後と検討することで、侵襲が大きい手術を要するかなどの判断材料になると考えられる。
